Thats a bit left field :o

The only thing I can think of that I have seen of Tonys are some Battletech type robots but that was a very long time ago.

Certainly interesting

Thanks Keith, but as Svennn mentions it's a bit left field considering.

Maybe, it's a different area of WW1 - Balkans or supernatural?

My five cents worth,

Helen

I just checked the Twitter link from the Northstar home page & you can't look at the page anymore if you are not a twitter member!
So I don't know if there are any updates  :?

the "hello Sailor" comment was a clue.

Definitely not WWWI

Aha, so either

1) a range of blousy looking female figures in period (un)dress and a suitable dockside pub or lampost to prop them up against
2) A Julian Clary/ Kenneth Williams themed theatrical troupe or concert party.

I think it´s a Baseball-related reference, implying a totally unexpected or unrelated interjection or occurrence.

I´m interested to see those new figures, though. Currently rather happy with the GWM stuff, but if they´re nice...

Title: Re: New WW1 range from Northstar!

Phoenix is a miniature name from the past that I do not associate with WWI ;D

Look forward to seeing the pics.
